Munier AL, et al. - In this prospective study, researchers investigated the incidence, risk factors and outcome of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MR-AB) infections in a burn unit (BU). This study was conducted from April to November 2014 during an outbreak in a BU in Paris. Observations revealed a high incidence of MR-AB nosocomial infection during this outbreak. The infection was associated with prolonged hospitalization and increased risk of death. An increased risk of nosocomial infection was noted in relation with high patient severity scores, prior MR-AB colonization, invasive procedures and repeated skin grafts.
